Ridgewood Planning Board mulls master plan

The Ridgewood Planning Board has already indicated it will hold a future public hearing for four developers’ request to amend the village’s master plan, but board members continue to mull over one question: How will the proposed amendment be drafted?

The four developers have individually petitioned the Planning Board, asking for a change to the master plan that, if approved, will allow high-density, multi-family housing in the Central Business District (CBD). Originally handled separately, the Planning Board has lumped the four concepts together in an effort to study the entire CBD and its ability to sustain the potential growth that the developments might produce.
